REELZ ANNOUNCES 12-EPISODE SECOND SEASON OF WWII-ERA DRAMA SERIES "BOMB GIRLS" COMING FIRST QUARTER 2013

(Albuquerque, NM) Monday, November 5, 2012 - ReelzChannel - TV About Movies(R) today announced a 12-episode second season of the original drama series Bomb Girls will premiere in the first quarter 2013.

Bomb Girls, starring Oscar(R)-nominee and Golden Globe(R)-winner Meg Tilly (The Big Chill, Agnes of God), takes place during World War II and captures a period when society was experiencing fundamental changes in the workplace and at home. At the heart of Bomb Girls are the stories of women who risk their lives in a munitions factory in support of the European front. Liberated from social and cultural restrictions, they embrace their newfound freedom, changing their lives-and the world around them-forever. Season two of Bomb Girls begins just after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

"Based on the enthusiastic response to Bomb Girls from our viewers, we're thrilled to partner with Global TV, Muse Entertainment and Back Alley Film Productions for a second season with 12 new episodes. The second season is full of surprises, including one episode with guest star Rosie O'Donnell," said Stan E. Hubbard, CEO of ReelzChannel.

Rosie made her dramatic television debut in CBS's Hallmark Hall of Fame production, Riding the Bus with My Sister. On the big screen, O'Donnell has starred in A League of Their Own, Sleepless in Seattle, Another Stakeout, The Flintstones, Exit To Eden, Now and Then, Beautiful Girls, Harriet the Spy, Wide Awake, and was the voice of Turk in Walt Disney's Tarzan. For six years, Rosie O'Donnell was America's best friend. For an hour each day she served as host and executive producer of the critically acclaimed and Emmy Award winning nationally syndicated talk/variety series The Rosie O'Donnell Show.
